Method 2: Individual Cloves

Step 2. Place peeled garlic on aluminum foil and liberally drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3. Wrap the foil to completely cover the garlic and not leave any openings.

Step 4. Bake for about 45 minutes.

Summary: The un-peeled garlic was done quicker if you're looking for a time-savor. I slightly preferred the whole head of garlic because the outsides stayed really soft which is perfect if you plan to mash them up! But I would recommend both ways depending on what type of garlic you have available to you.
